Transient Conduction in a Sphere

2D Axisymmetric Model: Tips

The following video outlines the approach used while modeling conduction in a sphere using an axisymmetric approach.
 

Geometry creation tips:
 

Tips on meshing, physics setup and numerical solution:
 

Tips on postprocessing:

Transient conduction can create large data files since by default, ANSYS stores temperature values at all nodes at each time step. This can result in a large data files if you have a lot of nodes and/or time steps. When saving your project, you can create small data files using the trick shown in the following video.
